I’ve got a Kawasaki 500 two stroke triple – “The Widow Maker.”
My old Sears 10 speed scares me too much to ride.

Describe “bike.” If it’s got an engine, it should be called a motorcycle. If it doesn’t, I have 5 fo them, which one do you want to know about?

I had to sell my bike two years ago to pay some bills. But in the next month or so I think I’m going to buy a fixed gear bicycle from republicbike.com.

I’m riding a Schwinn Sierra, similar to the one in this picture except mine has disk brakes. It is getting old now and I will be getting a new bike next summer. Not sure what I’ll get, but I have to pick it carefully.

A boss cruiser. Before riding this bike, I didn’t know what true joyriding was. It was like the rest of my experiences biking were suddenly very stressful compared to riding the cruiser. It took a bit of practice to get good with the coaster brakes, but you know what they say about riding bikes :)

I have a vintage Schwinn (circa 1980) stored in the basement somewhere. Time to get it out, sell it, and buy a new one:-)

I’ve been cruising the town on my 2010 Sirrus Specialized. Yes, I treated myself to a new bike for the first time in my life, but it costs less than a year of car insurance, not to mention gas, maintenance, registration, inspection, and actually buying a car in the first place.

I have a Schwinn Diamondback hybrid I have had forever and rides great off road. I also got a real sweet Fuji touring bike left behind by the robber who got busted breaking into my car!

A Miyata One Thousand. It’s about a year old in terms of use. It was made around the time my first bike was made—early to mid 70s. I rode the first bike I ever bought with my own money, a Carlton 10, until the frame cracked. That took 40 years. The frame on this one will probably crack sooner because I’m a lot bigger now.

I often ride on the back of a Harley if that counts.

an old blue heavy ass Schwinn road bike with orange handlebars. Then I realized i live a half hour away from denver. i dont want to be mistaken as a bronco fan, but my bike is the shit and despite all its flaws i have come to love it. even though today its pouring and i almost got hit by a car because i have no brakes in the rain!

I am riding an electric bike of which it is a plug in electric vehicle. Here it runs through electricity and the electricity is stored on board in a rechargable battery which one or two electric motors. Rechargable lithium ion battery has been used in it. And also CHADEMO charger is used in it. which can charge the batteries up to 95% in an hour. And it also have the facility of quick battery swapping. Here electric machines enjoy an enormous fuel cost advantage. In three months and 2,800 km (1,700 mi) of commuting on an electric motorcycle cost Lavrinc less than $28 for electricity; on a BMW gasoline bike a single trip of 650 km (400 mi) cost nearly the same.
